more_o obstinate_a tear_n the_o heathen_a be_v so_o sensible_a of_o this_o trouble_v that_o to_o relieve_v themselves_o they_o run_v headlong_o into_o idolatry_n and_o change_v their_o allegiance_n

thus_o assyria_n egypt_n and_o almost_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v first_o distract_v into_o superstition_n and_o the_o people_n of_o rome_n will_v not_o be_v satisfy_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o their_o first_o king_n before_o the_o senate_n have_v decree_v worship_n for_o he_o they_o be_v suspect_v to_o have_v destroy_v nay_o sometime_o this_o trouble_n grow_v too_o strong_a
